Hollywood Shows Interest in Oculus Rift

VideoInk's Matthew DeFulgentiis writes about Oculus Rift and what sort of virtual reality content is already brewing in Hollywood.

He writes, "Believe it or not, there have already been rumors that Hollywood directors might be willing to consider the idea. In fact, this past summer’s Comic-Con in San Diego featured “Drift with the Rift” promotions for three different projects — X-Men, Pacific Rim: Jaeger Pilot, and Sleepy Hollow. Fans could strap on an Oculus Rift and experience what it felt like to be immersed in a virtual reality experience."

Blackmagic Design today announced that Austin, Texas based full service production studio Zodiac Studios is using an ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K live production switcher and Video Assist 4K monitor/recorders for its ongoing Austin Music Live series. Cofounded by Robert Calder, owner and executive producer at Zodiac Studios, along with Producer and Creator David Christopher, the live streamed series celebrates the rich and diverse local talent that makes Austin the live music capital of the world.
